Daphne

Daphne was a nymph, and the daughter of the river god Peneius. After being mocked by Apollo for his shooting skills, Eros/Cupid shoots the god with a golden arrow, which makes him fall in love wth Daphne, and hits the nymph with a lead arrow, which makes her reject all advances. Apollo chases Daphne, and just before he catches her, she pleads to her father for help and is transformed into a laurel tree.
